Moving to the West Side

Moving to the West Side
In 1900, Joseph & Feiss--then known as Goldsmith, Joseph, Feiss & Company, purchased land on the east side of West 53rd Street and began building offices, a factory building and a massive warehouse. By 1920, the huge complex of buildings covered seven acres of land just south of Walworth Avenue. This photograph, taken on August 1, 1941,presents a southerly view of the complex from the nearby Big Four railroad tracks. The two-story building in the center of the complex is the factory building, which was razed in 2003-2004.
